Re: [Ql-Users] R: SBASIC / SuperBASIC Reference Manual - Online (HTML)
Evening all,
I've had a quick look on Opera and Firefox - both on Linux, and both
pages are identical except for the DJC version which has an extra blank
line after the heading. This is at any screen size by the way.
Opera is version 12.16 for Linux while
Firefox is version 31.0 for Linux.
Looking at the source HTML, I don't see any tags - in either page.
The text appears to be a solid block of text with a pair of tags
between each "paragraph".
Having seen this line:
I wonder exactly what tool was used to build the HTML page? If it was
Word, or similar, then all bets on standard HTML are off! ;-)
I may be wrong, but surely this is not valid HTML, it's certainly not
strict HTML at the very least.
STOP PRESS - ok, who changed the pages when I was in mid rant??? It
seems that most, but not all of the pairs have now been
converted to proper tags. There are still a couple left though in
the headings at the top of the page!
Using Opera, and the latest version of the two pages, passing them
through the W3C html validator gives each page the following 4 errors:
Line 2, Column 15: there is no attribute "XMLNS:V"
You have used the attribute named above in your document, but the
document type you are using does not support that attribute for this
element. This error is often caused by incorrect use of the "Strict"
document type with a document that uses frames (e.g. you must use the
"Transitional" document type to get the "target" attribute), or by using
vendor proprietary extensions such as "marginheight" (this is usually
fixed by using CSS to achieve the desired effect instead).
This error may also result if the element itself is not supported in
the document type you are using, as an undefined element will have no
supported attributes; in this case, see the element-undefined error
message for further information.
How to fix: check the spelling and case of the element and attribute,
(Remember XHTML is all lower-case) and/or check that they are both
allowed in the chosen document type, and/or use CSS instead of this
attribute. If you received this error when using the element to
incorporate flash media in a Web page, see the FAQ item on valid flash.
Line 6, Column 85: NET-enabling start-tag requires SHORTTAG YES
…nk rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/QLManualStyle.css"
media="all" />
For the current document, the validator interprets strings like
according to legacy rules that break the expectations of most authors
and thus cause confusing warnings and error messages from the validator.
This interpretation is triggered by HTML 4 documents or other SGML-based
HTML documents. To avoid the messages, simply remove the "/" character
in such contexts. NB: If you expect to be interpreted as an
XML-compatible "self-closing" tag, then you need to use XHTML or HTML5.
This warning and related errors may also be caused by an unquoted
attribute value containing one or more "/". Example: href=http://w3c.org>W3C. In such cases, the solution is to put
quotation marks around the value.
Line 6, Column 86: character data is not allowed here
…nk rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/QLManualStyle.css"

You have used character data somewhere it is not permitted to appear.
Mistakes that can cause this error include:
putting text directly in the body of the document without wrapping it in
a container element (such as a aragraph), or

using XHTML-style self-closing tags (such as ) in HTML 4.01

Hi,
It's not just Firefox that has the problem, Opera (on my tablet) shows
the same problem - which is the text jumps to the bottom of the page
instead of being displayed to the right of the sidebar.
The difference is in the mark-up of the text itself:
In the original, each line of the paragraphs of the text is followed by
a break line () whereas in DJC's version the only the last line of
the paragraph has the break line tag.
This actually affects the original as well: if I reduce the width of the
window on Firefox to 798 pixels wide the text jumps to the bottom of the
screen.
A suggested "fix" is to change the ccs #mainText to include:
width:66%;
to give:
#mainText {
float:top;
display:inline-block;
border-left:2px solid #000;
padding-left:15px;
padding-bottom:20px;
width:66%;
}
which allows the window to be reduced to 758 pixels before the jump
occurs; a width of 67% jumps at 779 pixels - the problem of setting a
percentage width is that the sidebar is a fixed width (about 254 px) and
as the window is shrunk it takes a larger percentage of it.
A width of 75% jumps at 1018 px - which may be more reasonable as most
people should be able to do 1024 pixels wide. Alternatively you could
specify it as a width:
width:472px;
will make the text near enough the same as the original with similar
word breaks (511px is the same width, but the line breaks originally
inserted may have been due to a constant, as opposed to proportionally,
width font and they occur else where). Alternatively, 490px requires a
minimum 768 pixel window, 746px requires a minimum 1024 pixel window,
before the text jumps.
Also, adding:
text-align:justify;
may make the output look neater.
Hope this helps,
Robert
Thanks for the suggestions - hopefully this should now have fixed the
CSS issues - I managed to do it without specifying a percentage width...

[Ql-Users] R: SBASIC / SuperBASIC Reference Manual - Online (HTML)
Dear Rich, I would like to congratulate for this great job Regards Davide -Messaggio originale- Da: Ql-Users [mailto:ql-users-boun...@lists.q-v-d.com] Per conto di Rich Mellor (RWAP) Inviato: domenica 10 agosto 2014 20:47 A: ql-us...@q-v-d.com Oggetto: [Ql-Users] SBASIC / SuperBASIC Reference Manual - Online (HTML) Thanks to some sterling work by tcat to further develop the automatic conversion tool, the first version of the SBASIC/SuperBASIC Reference Manual is now online at: http://www.rwapsoftware.co.uk/SBASIC_reference_manual_online/Foreword.html JOBS to do - volunteers are required, as I will not have time for this - it is now going to be a community project If you don't come forward with changes, then they are unlikely to be done! a) Write a home page to form the main link to the manual b) Improve CSS and layout c) Some more work on the conversion tool to handle the non-English characters - especially needed for Appendix 8 and 9. d) tcat to add the latest version conversion tool source to the forum for comments / changes to be suggested and made - you might spot more ways in which it can be improved to reduce the amount of manual effort needed. e) Volunteers to take ownership of a specific page and hand edit it to improve the layout - remove some of the line breaks for example in each paragraph. If you download a page to edit the HTML in a WYSIWYG editor, you will need access to the CSS file: http://www.rwapsoftware.co.uk/SBASIC_reference_manual_online/css/QLManualSty le.css If someone wants to set up some sort of online system where people can edit pages (eg. a wiki ?) then let me know and I can send a zip with all of the HTML files.

Re: [Ql-Users] QLis30 dinner - urgent
Dear QLis30 Diners The problem is that I am not well versed in electronic methods of payment. I believe that PayPal will let you transfer money with a credit card, but all the information the receiver gets is an email address. So perhaps a separate email with the details may be the answer. I believe in the UK if you use internet banking you can transfer the money direct with little or no charge, using SQLUG bank account sort code and account number. I can return an email with these details. Other methods by the banks seem to incur a charge more than the value of the dinner! I would be pleased if somebody who uses these methods could advise on the best methods.

SPECIAL DIETARY NEEDS Please inform us of any special dietary needs, including vegetarian, when booking as we have to inform the Holiday Inn in advance. The cost is £25 for a three course meal plus coffee. As the Holiday Inn requires payment in full a month in advance all bookings must be in and fully paid by the end of August. PAYMENT METHODS For obvious security reasons we are unable to put bank account and personal contact details online and would ask you to use one of the following procedures. 1: Payment by cheque for £25 made out to SQLUG and sent to John Sadler. For John's contact details please use the email link on the SQLUG website: www.jms1.supanet.com/SQLUG/intro.htm 2: Payment by PaYPaL. Quanta has kindly agreed to allow payment via their PayPal account. This may be the cheapest way for non-UK-ers to pay. There is a charge for using PayPal and, for foreign currency users, exchange and transfer costs. UK users should pay £26 and non UK users £28. For details of how to pay via the PayPal website please contact Quanta's treasurer via their website link: www.quanta.org.uk If paying by any form of transfer please ensure that QLis30 and your name are included in the payment details.
